Yeah, I'd actually buy the performance fuel rail and plug cover if it were available without the logo.

I want to know who these vendors are getting their rails from. Vivid, Boomba, AMS all resale the same fuel rails with their own logo's. I ended up buying one from AMS to show my support for their efforts. But I'd really like to find who makes these, and get a plain black one.

Yep.. same here.. I think their manufactured in Taiwan or China, I recall seeing something on reselling products with "your logo" on them, if I could find them I'd obviously put my club name on it.. LOL

Usually if there's enough material on it, I'll get the natural aluminum ones and mill the logos off locally... I want the plug cover because its the right size/shape to do a home-brew coil on plug setup with it..

I won't run any vender or product logos unless their giving me parts or somehow supporting my project.

All those that have questions about origin of our products please visit our web site "About us" page.

http://www.boombaracing.com/index2.html

You can even see Evo rail during design and machining. I'm sure that will answer your questions.

Interesting! I guess we know where these things come from now. Thanks for that clarification. I'd like to order a fuel rail with nothing on it, in black. Would this be possible?

Or make them say EVOLUTION VIII etc. People reallt are turned off by plastering names of companies like Malibu Jack said. I saw your items on EBAY and thats the ONLY thing that kept me from buying them.

More actual performance improving parts would be nice. The only things I saw that were performance related was the fuel rails. I'm not interested in replacing my plastic spark plug cover with an aluminum one that weighs more, and the same with a battery tie down. That milled aluminum piece has got wiegh pretty close to the same as the factory steel part. That's just my .02 cents and I could be wrong.

Send me some of your parts.. I'd happily run them on my car.. If I have to pay money though, I'd prefer to have the option to have no logo..

You know, you can make alot more money if you put a real small "brand" logo inconspicuously on your products, and allowed US to choose the logo or leave it blank.. Guarantee you can sell tons of them if you do that..

Also, you said you machined the parts and designs yourself.. Had the testing been done on the fuel rail to make sure its interior volume is greater than stock, and that fuel pressure across the rail is even under high load with larger injectors?

You want to make a product that will sell well? Create a vacuum "manifold" that has several ports and assorted sized fittings for it, to provide a nice vacuum source for addon accessories that you can put inline to the large vacuum hose running to the power brake booster... ESPECIALLY for the poor guys who are running an aftermarket intake manifold and don't have enough sources for the accessories...

PM me if you want to work on some products, I need to find a place that has an in-house machine shop to fabricate parts that could be desirable to other enthusiasts..

I have to agree.. I've made up titanium parts to replace some of the steel parts on my car.. The plug cover is a good example of a potentially USEFUL setup.. sell a version pre-cut to fit delphi or denso ignition coils (4 across) for a do-it-yourself coil on plug setup with the coils and cover, and you can easily sell tons of them.. I chose my aluminum cover for the additional clearance under there to run a coil on plug setup hidden under the cover (using motorcycle coils)

Rails were tested and on standard one you can get about 600 HP. Performance rail has no HP limit.
We have already got vacuum manifolds that we use for different purpose, but can be easily adapted to automotive use, I'll post pics on our website next week.
As far as logo is concern since we started to sell everything under our own name not long ago it is very important to us to spread the word and get our name around. Our fuel rail is at least $50 cheaper than competition, isn't it enough incentive to put up with our logo .
We offer top notch products and you can check feedback that we got for our parts and service on WRX, SRT forums and on E-bay.
We really appreciate all comments and suggestions .

I'm definitely willing to try the products, but in all honesty I don't fly logos of vendors or manufacturers who aren't sponsors.
